stepping into the night

In the end, Ruan Chu still didn't send out the seal he was carrying in his pocket.

He had already given the Christmas fruit as a gift on Christmas Eve, and he couldn't find any other excuse to give Lin Jiang a seal carved by himself. He had just gotten closer to Lin Jiang as a friend, and it would be too abrupt to take a step closer. Well, he can't be too obvious.

The two of them walked back to the dormitory side by side as before, and said goodbye when they reached the fork in the road. Before Ruan Chu turned and walked in the direction of his dormitory, Lin Jiang pulled his wrist. Jiang stuffed something into his palm, and then Lin Jiang's warm palm wrapped the back of his hand and made him make a fist: "Go back to bed early, good night."

Ruan Chu's face was burning badly, and he felt the residual temperature on the back of his hand trickle down to his spinal cord. He didn't dare to turn his head to look at Lin Jiang, so he just nodded his head and responded softly, and waited until he walked back for a while. After cutting off the road, he slowly opened his palm and saw a milk fudge that Lin Jiang put in.

He was reluctant to eat it, and put the candy into the small pocket on his clothes, but the sweetness seemed to have spread between his lips and teeth.

Ruan Chukong went back to the dormitory, and apologized to Ye Xingzhi seriously, explaining the lack of materials in the store, Ye Xingzhi didn't care, just said it was okay, but he paid attention to Ruan Chu's expression , I can feel that his mood seems to have improved again, but Ye Xingzhi didn't ask anything.

"Youngest, why didn't you come back today?" Zhou Yue was sitting cross-legged on the bed applying a mask, and Zhao Tong cheerfully took a few photos and made them into "611 Family Heirloom" emoticons and uploaded them to the group photo album.

"I was delayed on the road for a while." Ruan Chu said vaguely.

"Hey, have all the contents of your wish card come true?" Zhou Yue lifted the half-drawn curtain and poked out a dark face, almost startling Ruan Chu, Ruan Chu thought for a while , shook his head.

"It's come true," Zhao Tong bit an apple and came in from the balcony outside to dry his clothes, "I wanted an orange, and someone actually bought a bag of oranges for me. I got it from the 612 next door. The wish card also happened to belong to their dormitory, so I asked him to help bring it over."

"What about you, Mr. Ye?" Zhou Yue nodded and looked at Ye Xingzhi, "What did you write?"

"I want a safe fruit," Ye Xingzhi thought for a while, "I didn't know that our class was going to give apples to everyone. The wish card I received was just a cup of milk tea. I'll give it tomorrow."

"Ah..." Zhou Yue let out a long sigh, leaned his back against the wall, and said with a dead face, "I'm finished."

"What did you write?" Zhao Tong was aroused by his lament, and looked at him while nibbling on an apple. Even Ruan Chu blinked and looked in Zhou Yue's direction seriously.

"When I got the wish card sent to us by the class monitor, didn't I jokingly say that this thing is useless?" Zhou Yue climbed down the ladder from the bed in grief, "I just wrote a sentence with a pencil , I thought about waiting for the monitor to remind me and then wipe it off and replace it with a decent one, but we were full that day, and when the monitor came to remind me, I forgot about it.”

"The process is not important," Ye Xingzhi leaned on the closet and looked at him leisurely, "What did you write?"

"..."

Zhou Yue was silent for three seconds, facing the wall and began to tear off the mask on his face, humiliating: "Is there 1?"

Ruan Chu: "..."

Ye Xingzhi: "..."

Zhao Tong sighed sincerely: "You are so coquettish."

There was a burst of cheerful laughter in the 611 dormitory, mainly Zhao Tong, and even Ruan Chu couldn't help covering his face and laughing for a long time, and it didn't stop until the four of them finished washing, turned off the lights and went to bed.

"Do you think that the classmate who got my wish card will show my wish to the brothers in his dormitory?" In the darkness, Zhou Yue said abruptly in a chant-like tone.

It wasn't long before Zhao Tong stopped laughing. Hearing his words, he couldn't help laughing again while lying on the bed.

"I don't know whether he will show it to his brothers in the dormitory, but I know that your wish will be known by the whole class soon, classmate of the vice class." Ye Xingzhi said calmly.

"?!?"

Zhou Yue sat up suddenly: "Why???"

"Just now a student in the 608 dormitory of our class sent a message saying that you may not have added him, so I will send you a screenshot." Ye Xingzhi quickly sent the screenshot to the dormitory group, and explained by the way, "Just happened It's my classmate in the student union department, and I need to contact him when I have tasks, so I added him."

What the screenshot says is:

"Our class made a wish card activity to enhance the friendship among classmates. I received a card from a classmate. If I didn't understand it, I asked him, what does he mean by '1'? Is it because I haven't kept up with everyone's surfing speed? "

That note also attached a picture of Zhou Yue's wish card written in pencil, but the name and student number were carefully smeared out with mosaics.

The "hahahahaha" that says the formation is consistent below is also very eye-catching.

Zhao Tong covered his stomach and began to laugh madly: "Fuck, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

"...I don't want to get popular in this way." Zhou Yue felt deeply suffocated.

However, Ruan Chu still has a bit of conscience. After laughing, he found a "hug" emoticon package and sent it to the group, trying to comfort Zhou Yue: "It's okay, everyone will forget it after laughing." Now, you don't have to worry."

"But I still don't have 1." Zhou Yue pretended to be sad.

"There will be, there will be," Zhao Tong smiled tiredly, and weakly perfunctory him, "To be honest, I didn't know what '1' and '0' meant before I came to this dormitory. It's broken."

"I don't have it," Zhou Yue lay back and said angrily, "You steel straight man, you asked me to watch GV for the first time when we met, are you ashamed to say that you were led astray by others?"

……

They fell into the daily crosstalk-style quarrel again, Ruan Chu didn't listen carefully, and opened the dialog box between himself and Lin Jiang, even he himself forgot that this was the first time he had checked the chat records, but this time But he was full of anticipation and longing. He read the news that Lin Jiang told him to eat on time, and a little bit of sweetness dripped into his heart.

However, what troubled him was that he didn't seem to be able to find any topics to take the initiative to send messages to Lin Jiang today—his seal hadn't been given to Lin Jiang yet, and he suddenly felt that if he just sent a naked seal, it would seem too It was very poor, and he wanted to wait until the winter vacation to go back and use the wood left over from his father's work to make another box for the seal.

He couldn't think of what message he could take the initiative to send Lin Jiang, so he just followed the crowd and sent a "Merry Christmas" message at midnight, with a picture of him taking out the toffee from the pocket of his down jacket and holding it in his hand. I took a photo with the palm of my hand, and then locked the toffee into the small cabinet on the right side of the desk.There were very few things in that cabinet, and they were filled with things that he thought were very precious, such as the seal that he was ready to give to Lin Jiang, such as this toffee.

There is almost nothing related to him in Ruan Chu's space. It looks serious and ordinary. This Christmas blessing is unprecedented. He wants to get up the next day to see if there is any in the browsing history. A portrait of Lin Jiang appeared.

But he didn't expect that not long after he sent it, he received Lin Jiang's likes and messages from him.

[Lin]: Still not asleep?

This was a pleasant surprise.

Ruan Chu was very happy, clicked on the dialog box, and thought about sending Lin Jiang a message.

[Chu Ji]: Getting ready to sleep, senior Merry Christmas!

[Lin]: Well, you too, good night.

[Chu Ji]: Good night/[Moon]

He turned his mobile phone to silent, locked the screen and put it on the shelf of the closet on the bed, and soon fell asleep peacefully, not noticing that Lin Jiang also sent a message after midnight.

"Well, Merry Christmas / [image]"

In the accompanying picture is the peace fruit that Ruan Chu gave him today.

Ruan Chu dreamed of Lin Jiang again, but this time his face was no longer covered by the lingering fog, Ruan Chu could clearly see the light smile on his face, and the distance between them was no longer So far away, he can still see his own appearance from Lin Jiang's long and beautiful Danfeng eyes, and he can even feel the warmth of Lin Jiang's hand rubbing his hair.

But this time, Lin Jiang in the dream called him differently.

Ruan Chu stared at his well-shaped lips, and heard him calling to himself with a smile——

"Ruan Ruan."

……

The fixed alarm clock at [-]:[-] am in the dormitory rang, because they had morning classes and had to reserve a seat in advance. If the row was too front, it would be easy for the teacher to pick it up and return to the question; I can't hear clearly when I'm in class.

When Ruan Chu woke up, with red ears, he was annoyed to find that he had the same situation as when he dreamed about Lin Jiang last time.

But he was always the first one to get up in the dormitory, and he quickly put on clean underwear, took out the dirty one, washed it and dried it on the hanger, and then took the time to wash up. He breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't notice his strangeness, and walked towards the cafeteria together with his shoulders hooked by the sleepy Zhou Yue.

As soon as Ruan Chu entered the cafeteria, he saw Lin Jiang who was near the door. When his eyes met, Lin Jiang nodded slightly at him, with a slight smile on his lips, and said good morning to him, Ruan Chu blinked. , also bent his eyes and smiled at him, and responded with his mouth: "Good morning, senior."

Not long after waking up, I saw the person in the dream, and at the same time, Ruan Chu's mood lightened up briskly, and he couldn't help but look at Lin Jiang's side frequently while eating breakfast, but there were too many people in the cafeteria, He could only see Lin Jiang's hair top or ears occasionally, but couldn't see his face clearly.

But Lin Jiang seemed to have eyes behind her back, and soon after breakfast and her roommate Li An were about to go to the classroom, she sent a message to Ruan Chu.

[Lin]: Don't look around while eating. I'm going to class first. If you have any milk tea you want to drink, you can send it to me during the break and pick it up after school at noon.

Ruan Chu blushed. She didn't expect that Lin Jiang would find out that she was peeking at him like this, but seeing Lin Jiang's reaction... it shouldn't be annoying, right?
